The Fisherman and His Wife Heather Lee Shaw

In this fable, a poor northern Michigan fisherman catches a magic fish. When he tells his wife that he released the fish without asking for a reward, she makes it clear that what the fisherman's wife wants, the fisherman's wife gets.

The Fisherman and His Wife is the first book in the Once Upon a Time in Michigan series from Mission Point Press. Classic fairytales and fables will be set in different locations around the state. The next book, City Raccoon, Country Raccoon splits its setting between Tahquamenon Falls and Detroit.
